Sorry, I'm sure I am at least partially responsible for that.
Best 300 WSM?

Closing out this post. I shot two 300wsm and my shoulder didn't like either of them (browing xbolt hunter and weatherby vanguard sporter). Reload or not, it's not my gun. Instead, I'm going to fill a little gap in my collection and get a 7mm-08. Please see my post on remington vs browning in this respect. Still want the mountain gun concept but in a 7mm-08. Thanks all.

Good decision to shoot first and ask questions later, and to go with the 7mm-08.

Thanks to all again. Just had a 3.5-10x44 Zeiss mounted on my Browning xbolt 7mm-08 ss stalker. Damn does it look beautiful, can't wait to shoot it. Putting a bow on it and a note from Santa apologizing for the belated Christmas gift (my wife will get a kick out of that). I'll post a pic soon.

Do that...and great choice of optics.

Here it is
Sighted it in yesterday and could thread a needle at 100yds. Very little recoil. The only thing that bothers me (albeit slightly) is that when you cycle the bolt, you have to pull it far back with some effort to get the next bullet to load. If you cycle the bolt mildly, it will feel as if you cycled it but then there will be no bullet in the chamber. It's just going to take a little time to get used to it I think.
